Snowflake Obsidian Tumble Stone- 3cm
Snowflake Obsidian
Snowflake Obsidian is recognized for its striking contrast of deep black glassy stone with light gray to white “snowflake” patterns scattered across the surface. These natural markings give each piece a bold, graphic appearance that feels both dramatic and balanced.
Because of its smooth texture and distinctive look, Snowflake Obsidian is commonly used for polished stones, carvings, beads, and decorative objects. Each piece displays a unique distribution of patterns formed naturally during cooling.
✨ Fact & Fun Fact:
Snowflake Obsidian is a volcanic glass formed when lava cools rapidly with minimal crystal growth. The white “snowflakes” are actually cristobalite, a type of silica crystal that forms within the obsidian as it cools. Obsidian has been used since prehistoric times for tools and blades due to its sharp fracture edges.
